"Every hacklab needs a sauna. Problem is when the event is virtual, so is the steam. But it offers new opportunities to connect with other sauna-heads abroad. Such as Helsinki, Finland! There is a long history of sauna and remote networking going back to the 1990s. We invited Global Hackteria Network artist-organiser Andrew Gryf Paterson to join us from their backyard sauna, with live & recorded readings of Hacklab & Kitchenlab themed quotes prepared in advance. Heat up the stones, gather some water (virtual or otherwise), and get your sauna head covered, Welcome!"
